| Allie and Nelson after kayaking to a far off island from the shore in the Bay of Islands. This was our celebratory picture.
The beaches in New Zealand are truly beautiful. The water is pristine blue and green. The sun is strong. The views were great. We traveled up from Franz Josef Glacier to Nelson! We couldn't miss the town that bears Nelson's name! We saw some nice beaches and a beautiful sunset in the beach town. Then we traveled far up to the northern most part of the North Island to the Bay of Islands for some spectacular views and blue waters. We went kayaking, had great seafood, and enjoyed blue skies by day and starry skies by night! As we bring our time in New Zealand to a close, we head next to Australia!

| There were plenty of interesting "Nelson" signs in Nelson that we found humorous. Here are a few... You think Nelson could get in? |

Just amazing! I love the beach of shells. The sunsets rival AZ copper skies.
